Hi Suhail:I'm fairly certain you can do this. You can use static (if you don't care about inertial resistance) but since your model has finite movement, it violates the "small displacement assumption", you probably will need to use the "large displacement" switch, and use a controlled displacement "fixture" to move the top plate. We wrote a video for GoEngineer on YouTube, doing the same thing. Here is a link on YouTube that shows how to set it up. Let us know if you have questions! - Tony
